Message 81309 - Posted: 11 Mar 2017, 19:33:09 UTC - in response to Message 80621.  

All work units errored out. Reset project and all downloads show error in download. Have been doing Rosetta for years but now not sure I want to continue. Sorry, it now says "reached daily quota of 60 units" of course I now have NO work and will have to get a new Boinc project. If you want us to be loyal you must keep the errors fixed and your servers UP. Note my other computer is working fine so the problem is not with my end. Sorry, I'll wait over night then I guess I'm out-of-here. Really sorry because I think your doing the best work on Boinc. Best, John

I have never seen a project that is administrated so unprofessional.
it's sad, just sad.

@John Newbould, your download errors all seem to show "RSA key check failed for file", on numerous different files. As you say, your other machine is working fine, so that would tend to indicate the R@h servers copies are correct. Also, other machines appear to have downloaded the WUs yours failed on.

Is it possible you have some anti-virus software on the failing machine that is corrupting the download files because it believes they match some virus signature? Do you have a different AV between your two machines?

Thanks for your quick reply. No both are win7 with Microsoft security essentials only. I saw this problem once before some months ago but it cleared itself after a day or two. Of course I still had valid work and never ran out. If it doesn't clear over night I will remove and reinstall Boinc. If that fails I will post again then. Thanks again. Best, John.

Ok overnight I got more "RSA key check failed for file" and no valid work to do. I uninstalled Boinc and re-installed it - no joy. I checked I can download from other sites both program and data OK on all tests. I've checked all running processes and found nothing. see below the event log file if that gives any clue.:

Now I will attach a new project. Einstein@Home attached OK got work and is now running the project OK
However Einstein gid have a glitch like we are seeing in the middle' which I paste here:

It then completed OK and as I said is now running fine! everything ok the computer (my primary "fastest") is now without Rosetta work for the first time since I bought it!
I will leave both projects on Boinc for now. I can flush all App data if you think that will help? and start from scratch? Reload Boinc to an alternate location? I hope you can help. Thanks Much, John

This is odd. I thought the limit was 100. How did that get in there?

Yes 4 is strange. Two days ago it was 60 now FOUR? Of course the server must be limited so anyone with errors, like I'm having, would not "lock-up" the server with requests. But it would be nice that a manual "reset project" would clear/reset the limit. As it is now I must wait about 24 hours to try again!

It appears that Rosetta Mini 3.73 is set to tell the BOINC Manager that it is a non-compute-intensive application, but we know it IS compute-intensive.

I use the BOINC Client parameters <process_priority>1</process_priority> and <process_priority_special>3</process_priority_special> at various times. They work as follows: (from the BOINC Wiki)

<process_priority>N</process_priority>, <process_priority_special>N</process_priority_special>
The OS process priority at which tasks are run. Values are 0 (lowest priority, the default), 1 (below normal), 2 (normal), 3 (above normal), 4 (high) and 5 (real-time - not recommended). 'special' process priority is used for coprocessor (GPU) applications, wrapper applications, and non-compute-intensive applications, 'process priority' for all others. The two options can be used independently.

Using my values, Rosetta is running as "Above Normal", i.e., BOINC Manager treats it as a non-compute-intensive application. This should be corrected so that the BOINC Manager can assign the correct (user defined) priority to the tasks.

Exactly, this is one of the server's self-protection mechanisms.

As failures are reported back, the number is reduced and reflected in the messages. Successful WU reports increase it again, as well as passage of time.

I need to retract this claim somewhat, as I have only observed it on one of my computers. Do not investigate further until/unless I can give more details as to why only one was affected.

Thanks.

I understand but that does not my error in downloading. I can't get new work but the Einstein@home works fine and I'm not sure if I shouldn't just abandon Rosetta after ten yeast of effort on the project. if you cant help with some ideas that's all I can do. I asked if detaching and wiping all App data might work? Please, help. John

Looks like your system now has two WUs that completed their downloads without errors? Did you find a change to make? Or did your AV receive an update?

I did nothing! but you are right. The problem seems to have cleared overnight. I have stopped the Einstein from getting new tasks so as it runs out of work I hope Rosetta will return to normal. There is really no explanation for what happened... I thank you for your help and you can log this as unexplained. Glad to be back to work. Best, John.

Message 81337 - Posted: 16 Mar 2017, 4:01:34 UTC - in response to Message 81325.  

See original post here

It appears that Rosetta Mini 3.73 is set to tell the BOINC Manager to use the priority for "... coprocessor (GPU) applications, wrapper applications, and non-compute-intensive applications ...". The priority assigned "follows" (is assigned the changed level) when I change the <process_priority_special>N</process_priority_special> parameter setting, but only in the one computer where I am running LHC applications using Virtual Box. It does not change in my other computers.

Does anyone have a clue as to why, and more importantly, how to separate the priorities between those two applications? Is this a bug in the server for Rosetta Mini 3.73, the application, or the BOINC Manager 7.6.33?

I want the VBox wrapper to run at a higher priority than compute-intensive applications, not at the same level.

My mac is running well. Are others having mac client issues?


My iMac hasn't received any work for several days. I've tried manual Updates and Reset Project from the BOINC Manager, but still get no new work.


I've gotten projects from others but none from Rosetta.



LHC gives me no tasks and the Lattice Project downloads fail one at a time.

I'm on a new MacBook.

My mac is running well. Are others having mac client issues?


My iMac hasn't received any work for several days. I've tried manual Updates and Reset Project from the BOINC Manager, but still get no new work.


I've gotten projects from others but none from Rosetta.



LHC gives me no tasks and the Lattice Project downloads fail one at a time.

I'm on a new MacBook.

I'm not sure what's happening but I'll look into it.
